[Healeys] Shell Nitrogen Enriched Gas

[WILLIAM B LAWRENCE]

I doubt that nitrogen in and of itself would be harmful to your carbs, since about 80% of the air going through them is nitrogen, without knowing what form the nitrogen "enrichment" takes. 
It seems a little odd to me since oxides of nitrogen make up some of the pollutants that engineers work so hard to eliminate.

I see that Shell advertises that their 
gasoline is now nitrogen enriched to help clean valves 
etc.  Does anyone know if this additive is harmful to SU 
carburetor parts such as the jet diaphragm and rubber parts?
 
Vrooom vrooom,
